Creating a Character
Texto
The process of creating a character for the Legend of the Five Rings Roleplaying Game not only provides a set of numerical values, but also helps ground the character deeply in the world. The most important aspect of creating a character is not the mechanics that represent their abilities, but rather their personality, history, and ambitions. Samurai are not mindless warriors, despite the strictures the Code of Bushidō places on their lives. They are flesh-andblood humans who possess an incredible zeal for life, yet are expected to be perfectly at peace with the prospect of death—and this contradiction can be difficult to navigate. They grapple with anxieties, passions, fears, and dreams. While creating a character mechanically, it is important to consider and come to understand this person’s identity, their desires, their ideals, and how they will struggle when these collide.
